Story
Mirror's Edge takes place in a semi-dystopian world, pleasant to live in, but strictly ruled and closely monitored by a totalitarian government. You play as Faith, a courier for people who are guarding their privacy. Her sister has been wrongfully charged with a crime she did not commit, and Faith is determined to get to the bottom of the accusation.2
Gameplay
Gameplay revolves around parkour-style moves, as well as hand-to-hand combat and gunplay. However, speed is more important than weapons and carrying weapons will slow Faith's progress considerably. While free-running across rooftops, "Runner Vision" will kick in, displaying possible parkour paths in brighter colors.3
